Local lad Chef Steve is no stranger to life at The Dragon Hotel having been here for well over a decade masterminding thousands of Christmas Parties, Weddings and Dinner Dances. Not easily flustered, Steve takes everything in his stride and likes nothing better than to unwind with a few cans of cider over a fishing rod.

Kevin Wingrave could easily have been lost to the culinary world if he had stuck to his first career choice of carpentry. A few too many splinters made Kevlar decide to swap his wood chips for potato chips and Swansea Bay has now sampled his cooking at both Morgans Hotel and 698 prior to his arrival at The Dragon in 2005.

Chef Hayley James is by far the prettiest of The Dragon Hotel’s culinary team and has known Kevin since they attended Neath Port Talbot College together. Deserving a medal for working alongside him for so many years, Hayley is not only our Desserts and Pastry specialist but also manages to stay on top of the dreaded paperwork – a skill seldom found in chefs!

The motley crew that makes up the rest of the team includes:

James Hallett, who also worked with Kevin and Hayley at Morgans and 698, and has once been told he’s a young Heston, a fact that is often repeated…

Adam ‘Ducky’ Harris who waddles around the kitchen busy being Kev’s Golden Boy

Ben Kerward, the wittiest member of the team who knows exactly how to press Chef Steve’s buttons!

There are, of course, a few others who do not wish to be mentioned in this blog and shall therefore remain faceless: Liam, Mark, Bernard, Chris, Ashley, Roy and Liam – you know who you are!

Please click here to view this fantastic offer.

Recognising excellence in service, hospitality, quality and customer care, The Best Large Hotel Award is also recognition for promoting local distinctiveness and warm welcome. 

“To have won The Best Large Hotel Award for the second time in a row is a real credit” says Tim Priestland, General Manager.  “When your own industry recognises  that you’re doing something right it really means a lot.  Another great achievement is that The Dragon Brasserie was highly commended in the Best Meal Out – Taste of Swansea Bay Award.  We’re very proud of the quality of food and service at The Dragon Brasserie but feel that it’s the best kept secret in the city!Considering the wealth of dining facilities in the area it’s fantastic to think that a hotel can compete.”

Indeed the best Meal Out Award was open to any Restaurant, Cafe/Tea Rooms, Bar or Hotel who provide excellent quality food, with an innovative menu using locally sourced seasonal produce, promoting local Welsh identity.  Of course, excellent customer service and hospitality played their part in qualifying as well and the award was won by The Britannia Inn, Llanmadoc. 

Other winners include the Pontardawe Festival for the Best Festival & Events category, the National Showcaves for Wales for Best Activity or Attraction Award and Go Ape for the Best Visitor Experience.  The Outstanding Services to Tourism Award went to Leigh Davies and The Gower Heritage Centre Team.

To quote The Team at Tourism Swansea Bay: ‘Together we can show that Swansea Bay has the potential to become the best tourist destination in Wales’
